WIN: Appeals court rules Wisconsin, Indiana gay marriage bans as unconstitutional

The US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has ruled that gay marriage bans in Indiana and Wisconsin do in fact violate the US Constitution in a unanimous opinion.

Wisconsin attorney general has vowed to appeal the decision to the US Supreme Court.

Even though teabaggers have been able to get one win a few days ago when a federal judge upheld Louisiana's gay marriage ban, almost all federal court rulings have been in favor of gay marriage.

These delusional teabaggers like NOM's Brian Brown even have the audacity to proclaim that the gay marriage "house of cards" is beginning to collapse, just because of ONE ruling. Yeah right. Dream on asshole.

Today's unanimous ruling confirms the tidal wave of judicial precedent that we homos have a constitutional fundamental right to get hitched.

In the ruling the court held in part:
The court said that "tradition" isn't a "lawful ground for discrimination." The court also said that "homosexuals are among the most stigmatized, misunderstood, and discriminated-against minorities in the history of the world." 
"Not that allowing same-sex marriage will change in the short run the negative views that many Americans hold of same-sex marriage," the ruling continued. "But it will enhance the status of these marriages in the eyes of other Americans, and in the long run it may convert some of the opponents of such marriage by demonstrating that homosexual married couples are in essential respects, notably in the care of their adopted children, like other married couples."
Teabaggers can dream all they like but its looking very bad for them and their flimsy arguments that fail to hold water in court. Really bad.
